also important to remember they’ve maxed out the number of GPs in a season, so the low hanging fruit to increase revenue is gone. that’s why we’re now seeing crap like this and sprints. they are desperate to keep the money they have and squeeze out every last cent.

soon classic tracks like spa will be gone in favor of more profitable ones. they’ll find ways to cram more and more sponsorships in the broadcasts. targeted ads on streaming platforms. who knows, maybe even full blown ad breaks during races.
